Search Tips

  • To find scholarships that may match specific demographic or interest categories, click on the Match and Filter button.
  • Search by one criteria at a time to get the best results. Searching by too many criteria at one time can significantly limit the number of scholarships that would meet all selected criteria.
Note: The “Search All Scholarships” option can only search by scholarship name. Therefore, it is best to only use that scholarship search box if you know the name of the scholarship you are looking for. Instead, use the “deadline” or “recently updated” options or the match and filter settings to narrow your search.
